Thisindicates that the United States is taking considerable measures to ensure that the nation has aleading edge on future workforce demands, research, and technological innovations.The challenges at universities are intensified by K–12 gaps in science, technology, engineering,and math (STEM) programs. These gaps are created from declining graduation rates in highschool, a decrease in technical skill attainment, and limited training for educators to completelyunderstand and develop programs for workforce demands3.
